Hey if you feel like sharing, can you tell me the timeline of your symptoms? Did they get worse over time? Did some symptoms never go away after a certain point or did they go away over time? etc.
I’ll start, but it’s quite short since I’m still young
I was fine till 21, got my first psychosis, then I was stable for 3 years, off meds and at 24 got my second but same intensity. Not so much negatives overall.
Mine started around 14. They got really bad from 22-24, then slowly got better. The hallucinations went away entirely at age 28, and now I just deal with mood swings and impulsivity.
First episode at 30 got better but was not stable relapse after 2years on fluonxol then switched to risperidone was stable with no symptoms till switch to ability. Back on risperidone zero symptoms

Some got better some got worse. My horrible hell like DP/DR went away pretty much, but then I got delusions galore and more negs and cognitive symptoms. I saw some UFOs in 2016 in my backyard, and they triggered some psychosis and memories I think. I haven’t been the same since. Sort of like a download of past life memories in other universes and planet earths, I guess. I figure I started remembering thousands if not millions of past loops of my life as a paranoid schizophrenic. So yes, I don’t suffer with my sensory and eyeballs anymore, but I suffer in a much different way.
I’m much more sane and stable now, yes. I still believe in them. I don’t take the stance that all UFOs don’t exist or are ‘fake’ but that there’s some of everything in between type of thing.
